IP Surveys:
A Detecting Conductive Mineralization

Induced polarization (IP) surveys are a powerful tool for detecting conductive mineralization. This technique involves measuring the voltage response of subsurface rocks to electrical currents that are transmitted through them. The resulting data can be used to identify the presence and location of conductive minerals such as copper, gold, and silver.

IP surveys are particularly effective in areas where traditional geophysical surveys, such as magnetic and gravity surveys, have limited success. This is because IP surveys can detect conductive minerals that are not magnetic or have low density. Additionally, IP surveys can provide information on the size and shape of mineral deposits, which can help with mine planning and development.
